    Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked
    our interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a
    little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt,
    pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short
    lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate
    time to retreat to safety. WAY TOO COOL!



    Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.



    I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
    Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND
    pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of
    electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.??



    AWESOME!!!?



    Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on
    the face of her microwave!



    Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it
    couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right?! !??



    There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting
    little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really
    needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I
    thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of
    it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife
    to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would
    work as advertised Am I wrong???



    So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading
    glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and
    taser in another.



    The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient
    your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a
    major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would reportedly make
    your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst
    longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.? ? All the while I'm
    looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than ¾ inch in
    circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A
    batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!"??



    What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...



    I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one
    side as to say, "don't do it dumbass," reasoning that a one- second burst from
    such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give
    myself a one-second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked
    thigh, pushed the button and...



    HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!



    I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in
    the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over
    again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears
    in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be
    found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and
    tingling in my legs!



    The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard
    before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, stupid,
    do it again!"



    Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one
    note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap
    yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand
    by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three-second burst would be
    considered conservative.



    SON-OF-A-*%#... That hurt like **% !!!



    A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at
    that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed
    the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How
    did they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still
    twitching My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip
    weighed 88 lbs.

    I'm still looking for my testicles! I'm offering a significant reward
    for their safe return!!



    P. S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

    ...I am crying now, thanks. LOL

    In all reality, like you said, you would want to make sure it works.

    You should have video taped yourself.

    That would have been a definate money maker, and party favorite.

    OMG!!!!

    That is hilarious!!! I bought my wife a taser too but, I SOOO am not about to pop myself with it!! The one I got her shoots little darts attached to wires about 15 feet out. Once you pop the button, they shoot out and blast 250,000 volts for 30 seconds. It is automatic. No 1 to 3 seconds, this sucker just goes!!!

    I guess the thought is to pop the mugger, drop the taser and run. I guess for 30 seconds this poor mugger will be touched by the finger of God himself.

    Great story though!! I agree a YouTube video would have launched you into Star Wars Kid or Numa Numa fan stardom.
